I miss my nap time..
Remember those days when your baby just slept? When you put them down for a nap, they fell asleep almost instantly to the soothing sounds of a classical lullaby in the background. Those days are gone for me… Long gone.. When I put them down for a nap, Monkey See and Monkey Do instantly turn their bedroom into a playground. Their cribs turn into trampolines and monkey bars. The room around their cribs turns into a running track, and their blankets turn into… well.. a pile of blankets on the floor.
They used to be so good at going to nap and falling asleep withing 10 minutes of being covered with their blanket. Now, they play for an hour or more. I’ve gone in there and tried bribing them with treats, fun things to do, etc when they wake up.. but it doesn’t help. I’m almost ready to give in and keep them up in hopes that they’ll go to bed earlier in the evening…
Speaking of going to bed earlier— This weekend is the big Spring Forward on the clocks! I’m so scared! They already go to bed at 9pm, most nights… and there is NO way I’m letting them stay up until 10pm! I just know they’re going to start waking up around 6:30am now because the sun is going to be coming up “earlier”.. HELP!
How do you cope with the time change? They used to not be so affected by it, but now they are!

How do we cope? Our kids are old enough to read (mostly) and they will be up doing that far too long for a good week. The little one will just be annoying. I hate these time tricks. . . !
Minnesota Matron’s last blog post..Although the Matron Occasionally Stretches for the Sake of a Story, Here is an Actual Slice from the Life
Can you put them in different rooms for naptime? One in your room and one in theirs? Or do they still need cribs?
Just a suggestion.
OH – and we cover our kids windows with tin foil to keep that evil sun out. It works.

Aww, but they are so darn cute..lol
Our kids are older so the time change doesn’t effect them much. Good luck! {hugs}
